I'm sorry if I've missed something here but it sounds like the issue is the trigger to collapse the coil field inducing the HT spark. So if you have points, I'd be looking there. If you have all electronic ignition check usual suspects - ignition amplifier, pick up and reluctor air gap. Also...

Thanks man, I appreciate the moral support. Stay lucky!

Hey boys, nice to hear from you. As to what I did, well it is a bit stupid - see I was up on top of the barn roof patching a couple of small holes in the corrugated sheet roof. All was going well. I needed to get my hammer which had slid down on to the lean-to roof that abuts the main barn. The...

Thanks Jai. Been in here for 3 weeks now, I expect to be in for another week then they will send me home but I am not allowed to put any weight on my legs. I did make a bit of a mess of myself but the good news is I am expected to make a full recovery so my aim is to be walking again before...

If this thread is still active by the time I get out of hospital I will have a look at the wiring diagrams for my non-memory seats/mirrors and see if I can point you in the right direction.

What you need to bear in mind is that seat ECU is essentially a couple of driver IC's and some memory chips that "remember" the relative positions of seats and mirrors.They are arranged to create XYZ switching and memory, or at least it is something like that. If you open the seat ECU you will...

Not had the exact same problem but have experienced one caliper sticking. I resolved it with a combination of bleeding the system - I know it is a PITA but it is the only way, also clean the calipers and push the pistons back and then CAREFULLY (with an assistant) operate the brakes to push the...

The mirror motors should work. What you might want to do is look at the wiring diagram for your car and then look at a wiring diagram for an earlier model that doesn't have the memory seats. My '91 doesn't have the memory seats and the wiring is different so in theory I can't see why you...

Thank you for your get well wishes. It is going to be a bit of a haul, I expect to be in hospital for at least another 2 weeks. Timing chain swap is easy enough, remember though you need to loosen the sump to deal with the timing cover gasket correctly, so you might want to thunk in terms of...

Hello down South! Thought I would drop in here and say Hi. I have landed myself in hospital, been here a week so far and will be here for probably another 3 weeks. Love the photos Jai, glad to see it going well. Take care.

Sorry I didn't get back to you on this one. Sorry to say I am in hospital. Anyway, the thing about timing, if it wanders about it can mean the timing chain is slack, swapping out the chain and gears is no great shakes so maybe something to put on your hit list for later. Running 9 degrees...

Had breeze through this quickly....... intriguing. Have you watched the timing for a good few minutes -- does it wander? Is the idle speed rock steady? The other thought I had was the ignition timing, what is it actually set to? Is the base idle correct. An inlet air leak is possible but would...

I'm not entirely sure that is completely correct to say there is no camber on a RRC axle. The official workshop manual doesn't specifically give figures for camber but makes the point that no adjustment is provided for castor, camber or swivel pin inclination. When a suspension lift is applied...

FWIW my '91 runs the HD spring set up (police spec) so red/white springs on the back and green (standard rear) on the front. Hub centre to wheel arch centre is 480mm give or take. I run 235/70/16's, the 235/85 is a bit too tall without other modifications. The HD springs give a slight lift but...

I've had a number of mystery misfires and running maladies over the years. I think you might want to swap out the ignition amplifier and see what happens. The other question is whether or not you have any pattern ignition parts? Genuine Lucas is the way to go - trust me on that.

I would suggest take a look at throttle potentiometer - check base voltage then look at resistance and scaling. The other thing I would check is the vac advance and vac advance hose. Do a suck test.

With respect, look again. The plastic bit on the end of the lock cylinder can be removed, it is held in place with a spring clip, just prise it off with a flat bladed screwdriver. The one I just took off an old one has no number on it but it is clearly handed (RH). Does this help...

Depending on the year and transmission the radiator could have two oil coolers. My '91 RRC has two oil coolers in the rad. Drivers side cools engine oil, other side does the auto transmission fluid then the third oil cooler (bog brush) in front of the rad and A/C condenser does the power...

Just because it is a new switch doesn't mean it works!! (I'm not joking either). If you still have the old switch, test it. As I said earlier, I had a peculiar problem with mine and all that was needed was to reset the brake switch - push the pedal down then pull the plunger out and release the...

I don't have a wiring diagram for a '94 soft dash. Latest I have is for a '92 and the brake light circuit has a 10A fuse, B1 in main fuse box, feeds to brake light switch and brake lights. Also on the same circuit trailer pick up (brake lights), ABS ECU and Cruise Control pick up. Good luck.
